The following comes from District 113's own books:

1. District 113 took in over $107 Million in 2012 REVENUE (page 7)
(This is over $28,000 per student)

2. District 113 had over $95 Million in CASH ON HAND (page 13)

3. District 113 had UNRESTRICTED reserves of 46.9 Million (page 6) and could spend $25 Million NOW without jeopardizing its AAA rating

4. District 113 added $7M to unrestricted reserves each year for the past two years

5. District 113 has already indicated that it can spend $5 Million per year from current funds (page 6)

District 113 could easily fund the $60 Million Education First plan by applying $25 Million from reserves and $7M per year over the next 5 years WITHOUT ANY REFERENDUM AT ALL





2013 Election Results
